Freshman
Defensive Back
6’2 180lbs
The next player on the countdown to Purdue Football is true freshman defensive back Zion Gunn. Gunn, from Winter Park, Florida, was nearly a top 100 player at his position in the class of 2023 and had a junior year time of 11.52 in the 100m dash. Gunn possesses the coveted length for a defensive back in the Ryan Walters defensive scheme and likely figures to find the field in the future for the Boilers. Gunn will have a hard time finding the field in year one with the number of transfers that were brought in to shore up the weakest position on the team but a year with Kiero Small in the strength program will line him up for a chance to play important snaps in year two.
